Research interests
I focus on network modeling of biological systems. The CIDD-related aspect of this is modeling the interplay between pathogens and the host's immune system in collaboration with wet-bench scientists.
Pathogens include bacteria of the genus Bordetella (in collaboration with Eric Harvill) and the nematode T. retortaeformis (with Isabella Cattadori).
